"Shopping is a woman thing. It's a contact sport like football. Women enjoy the scrimmage, the noisy crowds, the danger of being trampled to death, and the ecstasy of the purchase."―Erma Bombeck

Need to get your rosacea under control, diminish the appearance of fine lines or simply swap dull skin for a radiant glow? Have we got an aesthetician for you: Meet Kayla Franzblau, owner of the one-year-old Kayla Jeanne Aesthetics, located on Union Street (near Laguna). The New York transplant—with, no surprise, the most gorgeous skin on the planet—worked with celebrity facialists Joanna Vargas and Ildi Pekar before moving out West.

Our advice: Make an appointment (60 or 75 minutes) and just let Kayla do her thing. She's known for working her magic with multiple hi-tech therapies: "I include infrared LED light, microcurrent lifting, medical-grade oxygen, and diamond microdermabrasion. These treatments work in combination with nano-technology to pump the product deep into the skin," she says. Facials cost between $115 and $205. Worth every penny. // 1905 Union St. (Cow Hollow), kaylajeanneaesthetics.com
